Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)
- Mom woke up to Anderson in her bed and Dad was no where to be found. Next Graham joined them and his first words to Mom was asking if Dad was all done picking up trash with Pops.
- Campbell was next to get in Mom’s bed-her bed had to be moved in the kitchen and out of the den last night because it was way too cold in there for her. Dad and then Reagan were the last ones to wake up
- The boys went downstairs to get some milk and discovered that there had been lots of candy left on the kitchen table (Mom and Dad were too lazy to put it all back up late last night). So Reagan, Anderson and Graham just sat around the table and looked through the candy for at least 30 minutes this morning. Reagan eventually grabbed her candy bucket and started filling it up and Graham followed with his.
- Dad took everyone to get doughnuts because it had been a long time since we had had any sweets (ha!) Campbell enjoyed her first doughnut. She probably was allowed to have doughnut a lot earlier than anyone else. After supper, Mom had a doughnut and Campbell remembered it and started trying to get it. Then when she realized Mom was getting her some, she went nuts!
- Next we went back home and Mom and Dad started working on the garage. Reagan watched a movie and Campbell played in her pack n play near Reagan until she fell asleep. The boys tried to watch the movie but soon they were outside helping Mom and Dad.
- Graham was given a spanking this afternoon. After Dad left the room, Anderson said to Graham “it didn’t hurt did it?” Dad overheard this and Anderson was given a spanking to see if it really did hurt-and he then decided that it did! (Probably hurt even more than him playing at Rock Creek with an open safety pin in his underwear like he did the other day)
- Pops called and asked if we wanted to come up to church and ride go-carts. We met him at church and everyone had a few turns driving around the building and even driving on the new parking lot and road. Reagan and Anderson are quite the drivers. Silly Graham wore his sunglasses that Pops found for him the whole time. He was good at turning on the go cart but couldn’t go straight for anything!
- Back home for a snack, movie and then supper. Campbell had a little nap and then it was time to trick or treat. First we went to Grannymom’s house to show off our costumes: a Monarch butterfly, fireman (3rd year in a row), Superman and a duck. Dad told them that we could go to 5 houses and then it was time to go to Nonna’s house. As we walked up to the 5th house, Anderson said that it was time for Nonnas. He had been counting. We did stop at a few more houses before our last stop.
- Campbell had fallen asleep but woke up to see the excitement and play with her bucket and candy at Pops’ house. The kids were exhausted by the time we came home and ready to go to bed.
- As Mom and Dad tucked Anderson in, they talked about what a great day they had-doughnuts, gold carts, trick or treating. Anderson looked at them and then said “when are we going to the zoo?”
